Direct X Comparison

[Baal]

Ok, so I just looked at those ss's of the DirectX 7/8/9 comparisons.

I have a DirectX 8 Video card (Geforce 4 TI 4200) but mine looks more like the DirectX 9 screenshot.

For example, here's a screenshot I took:

I know it's not the same area as the one on the main site (here) but it looks like I have many more effects than the ss shown in the news section.

It looks like I have the DirectX 9 effects (here)

What do you guys think?

I can see the difference on the broken box peices in the water. On dx 9 it shows the reflection thing in the water. Compare the two.

Yea but look at the DirectX 8 ss on the news page (here), it doesn't have any water relectivity on objects, mine has a lot.

Wow that looks kinda bad the way that box looks like blobs under water.

yours has no reflection
you only see the refraction of the part of the object thats underwater.

damn u can see that u have no reflections ... just look where the water hits the wall in the background ... do you see any wall reflections? no? well in dx9 you would.

That's the word I was looking for...refract. Not reflect.

Thanks for clearing that up.
